Ah, now I get it. This does look like a bug in CGIHTTPServer to me. As you note, it hardcodes the 200 status response. The CGI spec says that the CGI program can use the Status: header to tell the server what status code to send but CGIHTTPServer doesn't do that. ISTM the spec requires the server to buffer and interpret the HTTP headers from the CGI so the Status header can be set based on the CGI response. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
